Experiencing modern day society takes a toll on us both mentally and physically. We struggle through the everyday, dealing with pressures from a range of factors. As a teenager in current society, these pressures shape how I and others perceive me, and therefore how I experience life. There are two layers that are affected – the mental and the physical, which mask our true selves deteriorating over time. My inner self translates internalised thoughts of how I see myself and how other’s thoughts can change our own perceptions. These words are reiterated by my voice, narrating thoughts and emotions.
